Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was reading elsewhere on social media...BlueSky or reddit that a crash in that air space has been expected because it's so busy and there is very little room for error

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. The airport is *right next* to the Pentagon, and obviously the White House and most of the National Mall are also no-fly zones, so aircraft have to follow incredibly specific routes during landing and takeoff.

They did increase traffic there under Biden admin, so that may become a talking point.

I don't think Elon has the authority so, even though a lump sum might seem like more than I've ever seen @once, I hope I'd tell them to get stuffed. he also lies. a lot. Fork him and all his dead relatives. (pause) And he overweight!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Shocking nobody, he is blaming "diversity"

Only a straight white cisgender dude could have prevented this! Gosh, if only Trump hadn't immediately fired the white dude (I don't want to make any assumptions about his gender or sexual orientation) in charge of the FAA as soon as he got into office last week.

If only the Blackhawk pilot hadn’t been distracted by the transgenders? I mean FFS.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Thanks for all the well-wishes, everyone. Mom's procedure went fine, and her doctor seems to think that continuing in that vein rather than risking general anesthesia for surgery in the hospital is the way to go moving forward.

I hope he gets enough blowback on that executive memo to keep his BP firmly above 300.
